China/US-based duo FUCK YOUR BIRTHDAY is currently embarked on their new international Tours Truly venture, which kicked off in China last week. The tour was booked in conjunction with the release of a new split EP with Chinese act SPACE MONKEY, Blow Out The Candles And Make A Split, which is confirmed for release through Nefarious Industries in July. The split will see a limited 7″ vinyl release with one track from each band, while the digital version will feature an additional track from each band.
FUCK YOUR BIRTHDAY is currently in the US, and today, they kick off their West Coast US leg of the trek in Los Angeles with labelmates Those Darn Gnomes. The tour runs through Santa Fe, Denver, Seattle, Portland, Eugene, Humboldt County, and San Francisco.
The West Coast US leg of Tours Truly is followed by a week-long tour in Mexico in late June which is still being finalized. July sees FUCK YOUR BIRTHDAY on the East Coast for a three-week inundation, playing shows with labelmates and allies Brandon Seabrook, Dying Whale, Maid Myriad, Nequient, Mine Collapse, and many others through the first week of August. Two new shows in August have been booked in China upon the band’s return.
See the currently confirmed dates below and watch for updates in the weeks ahead as the routing is finalized.
SPACE MONKEY‘s tracks for Blow Out The Candles And Make A Split,”We Are Space Monkey” and “Billy Billy” were recorded at ACE Station in Guangzhou, China. For FUCK YOUR BIRTHDAY‘s “The Plan” and “Go Outside,” the drums were recorded in Keidan’s Living Room in Morgantown, West Virginia, the guitars and bass were recorded in a shed in New Martinsville, West Virginia, and the vocals were recorded in Wenzhou, China. All tracks on Blow Out The Candles And Make A Split were mixed by Christopher Henry and mastered by Bill Henderson at Azimuth Mastering.
